    It’s kind of hard sometimes. They’ve basically cornered the market on fast food. Local fast food places do exist, but they are rare.

      Maybe in the US. Go to London and you’ll get some really good takeaway from Indian, Pakistani, West Indies, and many other nationalities that are so much better than Mc Donalds. Same goes for pretty much any place outside of the US. Walk into pretty much any bakery in France, Croatia, Lithuania, Finland or Poland and they’ll have better stuff.

      For health reasons I stopped eating fast food more than 10 years ago. I’m still amazed so many people do. It feels like something you do when you’re a kid to me. I know it’s not that way for many. It is very unhealthy food though. I highly recommend not going. Best of luck.

        Fast food is very definitely unhealthy, but eating it in the rare instance when you have 20 minutes to find food and eat isn’t that bad.

      McDonald’s hasn’t even cornered the market in the USA.

      I have yet to travel somewhere that didn’t have a local fast food chain.
